: Boy I sure wish I could say how long one of my varnish jobs takes Every
: one seems to be different. It's done when it's done. I've done it with 3
: coats and I've done it with 15 coats (course depends on the material
: you're varnishing).

Btw, the one thing I think people can get from this conversation is there is no one correct way to get a perfect varnish job. Lots of people with years of experience each have a way that works perfectly for them, might or might not work for you.

Just jump in and give it a try and experiment a little. Even with the worst runs etc. just wait a couple days for the varnish to dry completely you can sand them out then try another way and see if that works better for you

Just don't expect that you'll get the absolutely perfect varnish job in a couple days the first time, not likely to happen. Given enough time and patience though I've seen a number of first time builders do a varnish job that rivals professional jobs, just arn't finished quite as quickly.
